Ned didn't even fight his mother to stop his arranged marriage, and he left Al when he needed him the most. Also, after the divorce, shouldn't he have immediately gone to Al and tried to get him back? And visit Maggie because she was sick? Ned is a coward. The vibe of the manga is good, but the story and characterization could have been better.
I've seen some manga with good atmosphere and art that have high ratings, so I read them, only to find that the story is weak. It made me realize how much of a visual medium manga is. Sometimes, we overlook a weak story because the visuals are so immersive that they transport us to another world.
